“GIMP beautifully resets preconceptions about bodies and movement.” – The New Yorker

“Latsky, a mover and shaker if there ever was one...her career as part of the socially conscious Bill T. Jones Co. is now the stuff of legend. – Time Out, Chicago

Heidi Latsky, a moving force in the dance world and a longtime principal member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, presents a roster of performers who embody unique physical virtuosity. GIMP examines the uncompromising ways we are often identified or defined by our physicality, an elegant landscape of portraits, illuminating limbs to accentuate uncommon beauty, mystery, sensuality and grace.

GIMP is presented in cooperation with VSA arts of Massachusetts.
